We had no pulmonary problems, but we'd do low-PO2 breaks for a few 
minutes every half hour or so.  After hearing what soem of the USN 
guys had to say at this forum I just returned from, it sounds like that 
is a good idea.

We've been reluctant to go to FFM's primarily for bailout reasons, but 
after seeing Bev Morgan's new mask, there is hope yet.  That will change 
a lot of how we do what we do (for example, we'll probably shift more 
towards the buddy system).
